"Bull, when EVERY professor in your law college recommends you that is a sign of great respect. Particularly at a top school like Notre Dame. There are about 36 clerks at the Supreme Count in any given year. When all of those clerks recommend you that too is a sign of great respect. How you can construe it any other way simple shows bias and bias shows a hidden agenda. "

Wow, you have drank the koolaid! Our own real supreme court could not figure out that obamacare was unconstitutional. Our most recent win with Union dues should have been 9-0 if your theory about law school professors was correct but even no brainers like that are 5-4. Our justice system is full of over educated libtards.

Apparently when you go to law school as a constitutional scholar they spend a lot of time teaching you to forget how to read.

Since you brought up OCare here is what Barrett said of Roberts on the ACA

... pushed the Affordable Care Act beyond its plausible meaning to save the statute. He construed the penalty imposed on those without health insurance as a tax, which permitted him to sustain the statute as a valid exercise of the taxing power; had he treated the payment as the statute did – as a penalty – he would have had to invalidate the statute as lying beyond Congress’s commerce power … [A] judge who adopts an interpretation inconsistent with the text fails to enforce the statute that commanded majority support. If the majority did not enact a "tax," interpreting the statute to impose a tax lacks democratic legitimacy … it is illegitimate for the Court to distort either the Constitution or a statute to achieve what it deems a preferable result.

Still think she is not an originalist (textulist).
